- The Very Rev. Fr. Herman Kondring, S.V.D. Au Reuoii Cebu City, October 16, 1959 Having stayed for more than four years at the University of San Carlos it was quite natural to become attached to the place and even more so to the people with whom I was in daily contact. It was for the sake of the students that I was sent to Cebu, and to their interests I dedicated my time and energy. I am now leaving on orders of higher superiors. It is again the students, their problems, and their future that stand before my eyes at this mo ment. The great number of students at a univer sity as San Carlos is makes it impossible for a Tarewell CDessage Rector to come into personal contact with all of them. It is equally impossible to wish now all of them a final goodbye. I must then make use of the pages of the "Carolinian" to extend to all students my sincerest and heartiest fare well. May God bless you always. You are young and have youthful aspirations and high idealism. I pray that you may succeed in your plans and overcome difficulties and hardships by exerting all your energies and by trusting in God and in our heavenly Mother. Remain true Carolinians. Without my giving an exact definition you know what this contains: faith in God, respect and love for parents and superiors, fraternal charity for all, serious study, and a noble and cheerful dispo sition. Be always like that. I am leaving for another place but shall re main within our beloved Philippines. I also shall be privileged to continue working in a Catholic institution for our youth and our country. Au revoir! Yours devotedly in Christ, (Sgd.) Herman Kondring, S.V.D.
